1. Understand the WH question word: Each WH word asks for specific information.
2. Identify the main verb: Look for the main verb in the question to know what action or state is being asked about. This helps you know what kind of answer is needed.
3. Provide the specific information:
• Who: Answer with the name or a description of a person.
• What: Answer with a thing, an action, or a piece of information.
• Where: Answer with a place or location.
• When: Answer with a specific time, date, or moment.
• Why: Answer with a reason (often starting with “because…”).
• How: Answer with a description of the manner, method, or state.
4. Keep it simple: Your answer should directly respond to the question. Use a complete sentence to make it clear, but don't add unnecessary details.

Why it does not end with an "s"?

In this case, the verb does not end with an 's' because it uses the auxiliary 'does.' When 'does' is used, it implies that the subject is a third-person singular, like 'he,' 'she,' or 'it.'

Does he play soccer?

Traducción: En este caso, el verbo no termina con una 's' porque utiliza el auxiliar 'does'. Cuando se usa 'does', implica que el sujeto es de tercera persona singular, como 'él', 'ella' o 'eso'.
